The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of boiling, roasting and frying on the digestion of peanuts in simulated gastric environment. Raw and processed peanuts were tested for disintegration in a model stomach system. The differences in disintegration rate were explained with respect to the changes in moisture absorption and texture. The absorption of moisture and the swelling of peanuts during gastric digestion were studied using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The results show that processing improved the gastric disintegration of peanuts, and the disintegration rate was in an order of fried > roasted > boiled > raw peanuts. The changes in total weight, moisture and the dry solid loss in the samples were described by Linear exponential equation, Peleg's equation and the Weibull equation, respectively. Absorption of gastric juice played a critical role in softening the texture contributing to the breakdown of peanuts. Static soaking test indicated that the disintegration rate, as indicated by half time, has a good exponential relationship with the textural parameters of soaked samples. MRI shows potential as being used to analyze the mass transfer phenomenon in solid foods under digestion.

The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of using ultrasound-assisted osmotic dehydration (UAOD) as a pretreatment prior to frying and to study its effects on the quality of fried potatoes. The quality parameters, moisture content, oil uptake, color, texture, and microstructure of fried potatoes, were chosen. Quality of fried potatoes treated with UAOD was also compared with the ones treated with osmotic dehydration (OD). Potato slabs (40 x 40 x 7 mm) were pretreated with different osm...
Effect of ultrasound on drying rate of selected produce
Kantaş, Yeşim; Bayındırlı, Alev; Department of Food Engineering (2007)
The objective of this study was to discover the effect of high power direct contact ultrasound on drying rates of apple, celery root, carrot and potato. For this purpose ultrasonic generator with 24 kHz frequency was used and amplitude and pulse mode values were chosen as 40%, 70%, 100%, and 0.4, 0.7, 1.0, respectively. The temperature of drying air was 30°C, 40°C and 50°C and the velocity was kept at 3.9 m/s. The samples used were 13.5 mm in diameter with 5.0 mm thickness. It is found that ultrasound assis...
Effects of different batter formulations on quality of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets
Doğan, Seyhan Firdevs; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2004)
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different flour and protein types on quality of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets. Additionally, the rheological properties of batters were studied and the batter viscosity was correlated with fried product quality. In the first part of the study, the effects of soy and rice flour (5%) addition to the batter formulation on product quality were studied. Coating pick-up of batters, and moisture content, oil content, texture, color, volume, porosity,...
Effects of addition of different fibers on rheological characteristics of cake batter and quality of cakes
Aydogdu, AYÇA; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2018-02-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of addition of dietary fibers on rheological properties of batter and cake quality. Wheat flour was replaced by 5 and 10% (wt%) oat, pea, apple and lemon fibers. All cake batters showed shear thinning behavior. Incorporation of fibers increased consistency index (k), storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (GaEuro(3)). As quality parameters, specific volume, hardness, weight loss, color and microstructure of cakes were investigated. Cakes containing oat and...
EFFECT OF PRETREATMENTS ON THE SEMICONTINUOUS ANAEROBIC-DIGESTION OF SUNFLOWER HEADS
POLAT, H; Selçuk, Nevin; SOYUPAK, S (1992-10-01)
The effects of hydraulic retention time and alkali treatment on methane production rate from the semicontinuous anaerobic digestion of 2 % sunflower-head/water mixtures were investigated. The experiments were carried out in laboratory-scale fermenters, fed with 1 liter of untreated, 2 g NaOH/100 g total solids (TS), and 5 g NaOH/100 g TS alkali-treated sunflower-head/water mixtures, respectively, and maintained at 55-degrees-C Digestion experiments were performed for hydraulic retention times of 8, 10, and ...
